Hi we do have a child who's mother is chinese and her father is English, but we would've covered this anyway to promote all cultures and diversity, both the childs parents are supportive of this and have offered to bring in decorations, we also visited a local chinese supermarket, we picked up snacks, decorations, new years lucky envelopes, cards, newspapers, chopsticks and a few other things, we asked if children could bring in a toy bunny, put books and pictures supporting this celebration around the setting and our cook is cooking some chinese meals for the day, we even have some fortune cookies for the staff!
ps i agreee with what you said about the advisors, sometimes they are frustrating!!!!!
